During recent years a considerable development of our knowledge in human genetics has occurred, and the fine structure of the total human genome will be known within a few years. In the mean time genetic technology as part of medical genetics has already been introduced in our health care and numerous individuals and families faced with genetic problems will greatly benefit from that. Some new ethical problems, however, also arise and some of them are dealt with in the present article.
近年来，我们在人类遗传学方面的知识有了长足的发展，再过几年我们就能了解整个人类基因组的精细结构。与此同时，作为医学遗传学一部分的基因技术已经被引入我们的医疗保健领域，许多面临基因问题的个人和家庭将从中受益匪浅。然而，一些新的伦理问题也随之出现，本文将探讨其中的一些问题。
